Considering that iOS 7 is taking UX cues from android and jailbreaking, I don't understand how you can say that.

Except the design of iOS7 borrows liberally from both. The flat design was introduced in WP7 then copied and popularised in Android 4.0. A lot of these design elements that iOS7 is being praised for have been recommended in Android for quite some time.

Kicksend in particular, and Reeder 2 to a lesser extent if you cropped out the iOS status bar looks far more like an Android app than iOS has been in the past.

Your opinion of Android UI appears to have been formed where parts of the operating system looked like this: http://gigaom2.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/youtube-android.p... whereas nowadays those same parts look more like this: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/09/youtub... .

Each to their own, but I wouldn't describe Android as "garbage" now - I actually quite like its current style. I'd also argue that most of these iOS7 apps look like they'd need only minor tweaks to fit in with Android's style, so your claim is at the least a bit unfair.

Oh a fanboy...
